WEAVERSES Unfair.
BY JENNIE s. JUDSON.


lSCVVFtVtteu, loo''J
Among many memories which clingt to me
of an early, health-seeking sojourn amid the
spicy scented pines of NJ that of ''Wea-
verses infair'' stands out in bold relief and
shall afford theme for the present sketch.
Mrs. Hudson a frequent visitor at my
fathers house, inasmuch as she supplied the
family weekly with butter and eggs, re-
marked feelingly to my mother one morn
ing, swell, ma'am, l suppose you've heern

Ny mother signifed her cognizance of the
sad event, and inquired the cause.
swell, some said twas ELECTION of the
bronkles and some that it was the fermentin
of the nerve of his stummick," her visitor
replied, 'but to tell you the truth I never
-eally knowed which it was. l low you
remember, ma am, as how me an him wasn't

tear.

two had been related to her by Mrs Hudson.

After lapse of three months, however
this murkiness of her mental horizon had
quite cleared away, for both the sun and the
moon in the shape of two widowers, Bros.
Brown and Stuart (the one minister, the
other a pillar in the Primitive Baptist
church,, had arisen upon it and di9elled
all gloomy prospects through the force OF
their united rays.
Shortly after the appearance of these orb,

the case of Rev. Brown, representing the
sun, but which his great brilliancy had
enabled him to escape.
Shining forth with renewed vigor after
this one assault upon his powers, he made
rapid strides toward the zenith of his ambi-
ton, and soon left the moon or Bro. Stuart
faint, pale shadow far below.
Mrs. Hudson speedily melted beneath the
ardor of his wooing, and within two weeks
from its inception, announced to my mother
and myself that 'she and Bro. Brown
had tuck an made up their minds to be
iined, cause bein' lef' POI lonely relickses
on the face of the yearth, they lowed they
would chirsh each other up a right smart,
when onct united.'
Mary Ann, Mrs. Hudson's eldest daugh-
ter, was soon to be married herself, and of
fered no objection to this sudden change in
her mothers prospects, and Malviny, the
younger, with scornful disregard to the
merits of the male Sect in general, avowed
that $50 fur as she seed Bro. Brown want

That afternoon we received the "bid'

mother, and was EXPRESSED in the following
language:

arrival and departure she brought the full

Thus you zee that this state is the best watered, and has the greatest advantages of naviga- tion, of any other state in the Un- ion.
 The mean temperature of the state is 65 degrees in winter and 69 in summer; and the tempera- ture in Little Rock, the capital of the state, usually varies the year round from l5 degrees to 30 de- grees, while the average tempera ture is about 62 degrees.

The Social Condition of Eng land
 in the Seventeenth Century.

Most of the iron used in Eng land at that time was imported and coal was used for domestic purpo- ses only.
 No canals had been dug and dur ing a great part of the year most of the roads were impossible for ve- hicles.
 The population of England POO years ago was about five millions; at the last census England and Wales numbered 25.974,439.
 The amount of money raised by taxation was very much smaller than at present, the oppressive chimney tax being chief source of income.
 The judges were unanimously of the opinion that by the common law of England no man not au- thorized by the crown had d right to publish political news. FOur-fifths of the common peo- pie were employed in agriculture at four pence per day with food eight pence without food. Four shillings a week was considered fair average wages.
 The sheep and cattle at that time were very diminutive; and the native horses, though service able. were held in small esteem, fetched low prices-abOut fifty shillings each.
 An English machine could exact a shilling d day-hand-loOm weav- CTS had been reduced to six-pence a day. Bricklayers were employ ed for the most part only in sum- mer at half d crown day; plum bers three shi!lings.
 At Enfield, hardly out of the sight of LoudOn, was a region of five and twenty miles in circum- ence which contained only three houses and scarcely any inclosed fields. Deer, as free as in any American forest, wandered there by thousands.
 The great majority of the nation lived almost entirely on rye, bar ley and oats. Almost all essential articles were dearer than now sugar, salt, candles, soap, shoes and generally all articles of bed. ding. Blankets were unknown un- til 17O5. The class below the la- bOrer and the artisan, one-fOurth of the entire population, depended on parochial relief, having no other means of living.
 A large proportion of the cOun- try. north of the Trent, down to the eighteenth century, was in a state of oarbarism. In Northum, berland bloodhonnds were kept to track robbers. The judges on cir cult, with the sheriff and armed retainers had to carry their pro- visions with them. for between Newcastle and Carlisle was a will derness which afforded no supplies and was full of danger.

AN ENGINEERS STORY.

"lt was when was running on the White Mountain road" said the engineer, shifting big quid of tobacco on the other side of his mouth. "Perhaps you've seen the line. Curves and grades om it are enough to make fellows hair stand on end. l was just married then, and Nell and I were just about as happy as we could be, the 0uly drawback to our happlnes be- ing the fact that l had to run the late express every other night up Fabyan's, and the accommodation back the next day. Nell used to be afraid to have me go, and used to worry every night. knew she did, for the road was new, and ac- cidents would happen in spite of everything. But the pay was good, and so stuck by.
 "Well, one night in January one O my offnights,the superinten. dent sent for me and said:
 ''Jim, there's party of Boston men want to go up through the mountains tonight, and we'll have to run a special. Can you take it! l know it's your night off, but I'll make an object to you"
 Well, Pll go,' says l, of course, but it's going to be a bad night up there"
 wThat's so, Pm afraid says he. But the directors say they must get through anyway. And l know l can rely on you to get them through"
 "SOI went back home and told Nell. l never saw Nell act so cut up about anything. It seemed as if she couldn't let me go, anyhow, though she was usually very brave.
 But l cheered her up, laughed at her fears as well as l could, and she helped me off with face that tried to smile And as went out she said:
 If you must go, you must. But Jim"-and such a queer OOk came over her-"do be careful at the Curve Mountain cut.'
 "I scarcely heard what she said, for 1 was already outside the door, and the snow was blowing in my face like fun. But 1 was soon aboard my machine and backing into the station.
 At 10 o'clock we turned on the steam and started. It was fear tul night. Fve seen terrible weath' CT Tn the mountains, but l never knew an engine to tremble m the wind as she did --that night. We had the right of way over all the other trains, and were only to stop once for water. So l opened the throttle and just let her go.
 "The mountains on winter night are a good deal different from what they be on a summer day, let me tell you. They loom up twice as high, with their snow covered sides. and seem like big, glum giants standing guard over the valley. The silence and desc lation awe you, and it didn't seem rieht to go shrieking and steamlna along the way we did that night The storm had let loose all the evil spirits in the air, and the wino
